My Players Are So Fierce

I’m not threatening you either.

But if they’re not satisfied with the rewards and feel deceived, then it’s you who will suffer.

From my observation, our warriors have always been flexible when it comes to moral boundaries…

Also, since we’re already friends, would you like me to return your family heirloom ‘Butcher’ battle axe?

Losing a family heirloom at the gambling table, even if you’re a big name among the Shield Dwarves, would still leave you whispering behind your back, right?”

“Hmm, a group of enhanced undead mercenaries?

I understand.

As for my family heirloom, no need for you to worry, since I became a vampire, that Butcher battle axe has been gathering dust for decades.

Placing it in the hands of warriors could at least allow it to continue forging its legend.

Besides, I lost it at the gambling table, and sooner or later, I will win it back at the same table!

We Shield Dwarves have always valued our reputation at the gambling table more than life itself.”

Lord Hether let out a hearty dwarf laugh and said loudly:

“And our conversation should be this direct, gentlemen!

Though I’m the Second Lord of the Blood Covenant Knight Order, I’ve never quite learned that kind of dark, cunning way of talking that our compatriots praise.

Since you’ve made a request, I won’t hold back either.

To be honest, your warriors are really handy and their destructive power is astonishing, like an alien treasure blade that hasn’t been fully tempered.

I don’t mind helping you sharpen this blade, but after all, I’m a commander who has to make the best use of resources!

So I demand that there must be no less than 1500 foreigners stationed at Blackflame Mountain Pass, otherwise, it won’t be of much use.

I will specifically appoint one of my offspring to manage and lead them.

If they do well, I could even continue to give treasures from my personal vault as gifts to them.

Shield Dwarves’ secrets are not limited to just one Butcher battle axe.

Honestly, I quite like this kind of mercenary transaction; a clear settlement of money and goods always leaves one feeling satisfied.”

“1500 people?

No problem!”

Murphy nodded and said:

“About ten days later, I’ll send you the people you need.

In the meantime, they need to rest.

Also, you should be aware that Lord Paryen is advancing an important plan.

When His Lordship orders them to work, my warriors need to be dispatched into the depths of the Dark Mountain Range.

In such a case, you should arrange everything in advance to avoid any mishaps.

Is there anything else to discuss?

If not, Triss and I will temporarily leave here and return to Transylvania.”

“Of course, there is!

About your previous battlefield.”

Lord Hether picked up a blueprint from her desk and handed it to Murphy, who took it and widened his eyes after a glance, saying:

“You want to construct a fortress on Blood Flag Heights?

Why?

That’s not a strategic location.

From a practical perspective, it’s a waste of valuable resources.”

“But we commanders can’t prioritize practicality in everything, Murphy.”

Lord Hether shook her head and said:

“As the General Line Commander, I have to think about many issues from a morale perspective.

The seventeen-day offensive and defensive battle on Blood Flag Heights was an irreplaceable miracle.

The story of that flag and every detail has become the most popular battlefield gossip on the line.

Even some commanders at the Blood Covenant Knight Order Headquarters have written to inquire.

Lord Murphy, you are not a soldier and cannot understand such rare sentiments.

I also admit that the position of Blood Flag Heights has no strategic value, but its development has already become a small-to-moderate miracle.

As a commander, I must make good use of this little miracle to achieve the purpose of boosting morale.

As long as Blood Flag Heights remains in our hands, as long as that Blood Banner doesn’t fall, my soldiers will continue to be inspired, and all I need to do is send a few Earth Priests to repair the terrain there and construct a solid fortress.

I want to name it ‘Fortress of Courage’!

And station a Retinue Army there long-term to continue the legend of Blood Flag Heights.

But this undoubtedly requires your approval because that’s the Transia People’s position!

That belongs to your legendary story.”

“I have no objections; I’m even flattered.”

Murphy returned the blueprint and said:

“But since it’s our Transia’s military little miracle, can Transia people participate in it?

Our Stonemason Brotherhood is also skilled in construction.

I believe they can provide a more excellent fortress blueprint.

That Blood Banner can also remain at the Fortress of Courage permanently, but I have a small request: Could your Earth Priests also create a few statues?

I mean those monument-like statues, without specific faces, only need to commemorate this ‘glorious event.’ Please understand, but I also need to use this matter to inspire courage in the hearts of the Transia People!

This is a means that a ruler must have.

Moreover, once the Fortress of Courage is completed, if there is any combat there, I demand that my warriors must be sent to support it.

That is Transia’s Land of Miracles.

Every warrior has the duty to uphold the war epics left by their predecessors.

Just like an Easter egg nature battle routine, I guess it will definitely make them feel thrilled.”

“Of course, that’s not a problem, although I don’t quite understand your Transia dialect.”

Lord Hether, being of dwarf descent, was indeed heroic in temperament and actions, and the cooperation agreement between both parties was thus reached.
